Allen Rossum released

The Cowboys have released return specialist Allen Rossum and signed cornerback Cletis Gordon.

Rossum’s return home did not go as planned. He returned one kickoff for 14 yards and suffered a hamstring injury that kept him on the sideline for the last month.

Gordon was with the Cowboys for one game earlier this year before his release. His signing was necessary because of the injury to safety Ken Hamlin forced Alan Ball in the lineup, weakening the cornerback spot.
